Boscovich Digital Library
The Boscovich Italian National Edition is proud to announce that a number

Each volume is endowed with an introduction (in Italian) and indexes of

will be also published as a CD-Rom with ISBN number by the «Commissione

and Geometry, Opera pertinentia ad Opticam et Astronomiam, Expertises on St.
Peter’s Basilica and Milan Cathedral, the didactic poems, and many others. The
Correspondence includes the exchanges with Bartolomeo and Natale Boscovich,
Serafino Calindri, Angelo de Cesaris, Giovan Stefano Conti, Anton Mario Lorgna,
and many other correspondents.
The Digital Library is growing: other works and correspondence will be
published in the next future, including: De viribus vivis, De continuitatis
lege, Theoria philosophiae naturalis, Collected Works of Hydraulics, Geodesy,
Mechanics, Astronomy, ecc.; exchanges with Alexis Clairaut, Charles-Marie de la
Condamine, Gregorio Fontana, Joseph de l’Isle, Joseph-Jérôme Lalande, Charles
